Genetics is really scary to me. You'd understand if you met my relatives.
Oh, that is scary. I was jokingly referring to the fact that my whole family is nuts! But they are pretty healthy nuts - only heart disease, which I am actually having a check-up for tomorrow. But no cancer except for a couple of kinds that generally come with old age. I do the monthly breast checks and I'm hoping that breastfeeding for 16 years gave me some protection. (Because it sure did a number gravity-wise on "the girls"!)I totally hear you!!!!!!! Don't know ANYONE on my mother's side whatsoever and she died of breast cancer at age 30------Girls, REMINDER: get your yearly mammograms and do your monthly checks
No relation, but Larry the Cable Guy owns a home on a lake close to here. And there's a rumor that Oprah Winfrey owns a home on the most prestigious lake around here. And Brett Favre is on the computer background. Do those count for anything?

I know what you are hinting at, but no, it doesn't automatically make them related to me. For instance, my Aunt Janet married a man named Ted. That makes him my uncle, and their kids are my cousins. But my cousins' are cousins to Uncle Ted's brother's and sisters' kids, but they aren't related to me. (Of course, this doesn't hold true in families whose, as Jeff Foxworthy says, family tree doesn't fork!).

On my mother's side I'm a distant cousin of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and on my father's side I'm a distant cousin of Gen. (and President) Ullysses S. Grant.
My best friend's dad is named Robert E Lee. Maybe ya'll are related, too!On my mother's side I'm a distant cousin of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and on my father's side I'm a distant cousin of Gen. (and President) Ullysses S. Grant.
I'd say it counts, for sure. My daughter served Tommy Lee Jones a frozen yogurt once and I count that! She also shopped at the same grocery store that Sandra Bullock did when she lived in Austin.Where in WI are you? I've waited on Brett Favre, does that count?
OMG, I've had a thing for Omar Sharif ever since I first saw Dr. Zhivago. Did you collapse into a swoon when you met him?well my only brush with celebrities was that I was introduced to Omar Sharif while living in Cairo and met him at the annual Scottish Ball.......his current wife was British........not too bad looking for his age and very courtly
Well, given that logic, I am related to Dolly Parton. LOL She told me, when I was 16 or 17, that she liked my dress. And James could claim a lot of people, including Jimmy Carter, John Glenn, Elizabeth Montgomery, Lucille Ball, and Tom Arnold (he went to school with Tom, but a year or 2 behind him).I'd say it counts, for sure.
